Writer-performer Emily Weitzman’s riotous solo comedy turns boyfriends into futons and lampshades, and breakups into broken chairs. A surprising meditation on impermanence, Furniture Boys is hailed by the Guardian (****) as ‘ingenious,’ ‘shimmeringly silly,’ and ‘ridiculous and revelatory.’ Weitzman blends theatre, comedy, clown, spoken word and furniture showroom in her search for what endures: a relationship, a memory, a sofa-bed? Direct from Off-Broadway’s SoHo Playhouse, winner of Fringiest Show at Orlando Fringe. This ‘inventive, playful, and surprisingly heartfelt comedy... will surprise you with its tenderness and grandiosity’ ****½ (The Student).
